SCHOOL OFFICE
Student access to the office is before school, recess and lunchtime. Students must not go to the office during class time unless they have a note from their teacher. Students must use the student enquiries entrance from the main quadrangle to the administration building, and parents are asked to use the entrance to the office at the front of the school.
Payments by Students
Payments to be made by students must be paid at the external window/counter before school, during the 20-minute recess (except Friday) or lunch and students will be issued with a receipt for all payments. Cash, cheque or eftpos payments are accepted.
Please note eftpos payments will not be accepted after 11:45am on Fridays due to banking procedures. No payments will be accepted at any other time.
Telephone Messages
Students must not be contacted by parents/caregivers on their personal mobile phones during class time. This is impolite and disruptive to teaching and the learning of all students. Telephone messages for students will be taken in extremely urgent circumstances and will be monitored by a Deputy Principal.
Lost Property
If a student loses property:
The loss should be reported to their teacher and, if permitted, they should obtain a pass enabling them to look for the lost property;
The student should check at the student services counter to see if their property has been found and handed in.
